Dealer1 updated my vehicle to CIP 20.02. Unfortunately, attempts to explain that I needed to have MP3 playback enabled were futile.
Phoned dealer2 where I purchased my vehicle. Unfortunately, attempts to explain that I needed to have MP3 playback enabled were futile.
I went to dealer2 with the pdf downloaded from this site and had the dealer read it. Eureka! One of the techs had actually done the procedure. I have an appointment for next week to have MP3 enabled and it is free.

My Ride: 530i Built Nov 06
Silver Grey with Black Leather
Steptronic Automatic Tranmission
Premium Package
Navigation System
Sirius Satellite
Red Reflectors :-)
My car is Nov 06 built, and it can play mp3 CD in sub folders, although haven't try DVD format. One annoying thing is the song name listed in all caps with underscores; doesn't look pretty

Just got back from the dealer. They tried to change my radio from Business to professional. Radio worked fine but car would not re-code properly.
So, no MP3 for me!!

All of you that have Bussines Radio with Nav, or Professional with or without Nav, can go to your dealer to repro the software and can read MP3.
